More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
Muddled thinking inevitably results in muddled living
Elisabeth Elliot
Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?
Elisabeth Elliot
The process of shaping the child, shapes also the mother herself. Reverence for her sacred burden calls her to all that is pure and good, that she may teach primarily by her own humble, daily example.
Elisabeth Elliot
Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ''in spirit and in truth.'' Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.
Elisabeth Elliot
The question is simply,'Who is your master?'Once that's settled, you ask whether any word have been spoken. If it has, you have your orders.
Elisabeth Elliot
In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
Elisabeth Elliot
Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.
Elisabeth Elliot
A grandmother's special calling is to pray and to be a fellow worker in the battle in which her children or her grandchildren are engaged.
Elisabeth Elliot
Are you afraid? Remember the fear nots of the Bible.
Elisabeth Elliot
This hard place in which you perhaps find yourself is the very place in which God is giving you opportunity to look only to Him, to spend time in prayer, and to learn long-suffering, gentleness, meekness - in short, to learn the depths of the love that Christ Himself has poured out on all of us.
Elisabeth Elliot
We fundamentalists are a pack of mood-loving showoffs. I'm sure the Minor Prophets would have found subject for correction.
Elisabeth Elliot
There are those who insist that it is a very bad thing to question God. To them, “why?” is a rude question. That depends, I believe, on whether it is an honest search, in faith, for His meaning, or whether it is the challenge of unbelief and rebellion.
Elisabeth Elliot
Loneliness is a required course for leadership.
Elisabeth Elliot
The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.
Elisabeth Elliot
I am convinced that the human heart hungers for constancy. In forfeiting the sanctity of sex by casual, nondiscriminato ry making out and sleeping around, we forfeit something we cannot well do without. There is dullness, monotony, sheer boredom in all of life when virginity and purity are no longer protected and prized.
Elisabeth Elliot
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the real living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
Elisabeth Elliot
Things which sound like platitudes become vital, living and powerful when you have to learn them in the bottom of the barrel, in dark tunnels.
Elisabeth Elliot
She had the consciousness of being nine-and-twenty to give her some regrets and some apprehensions she was fully satisfied of being still quite as handsome as ever, but she felt her approach to the years of danger, and would have rejoiced to be certain of being properly solicited by baronet-blood within the next twelvemonth or two.
Elisabeth Elliot
Experience had quickly taught her that she could not survive the storms without the anchor of the constraining love of Christ and what she called the Rock-counsciousness of the promise given her, He goeth before.
Elisabeth Elliot
